    All this is fine and well, but is it all equal? You are the one getting on Marshawn Lynch for apparently not addressing these issues.

    Does he know?

    You can't even admit you were wrong about the man.

    The fact that he kneels for the USA anthem I guess in your mind invalidates the fact that he has a foundation focused on young kids pulling themselves out of poverty.

    It is also only hypocrisy if he actually positions himself on one side or the other.

    You can't call someone a hypocrite if you don't know their stance

    i think he did something stupid because he is stupid, honestly don't care if it was on purpose or not. that's like the 3rd or 4th time i've said that now.

    Does ipaman honestly believe that Lynch has a fondness for Mexican law enforcement?

    It's so obvious that is 'outrage' is a shtick.

    So you being outraged over him standing for the Mexican national anthem was just you playing a shtick right?

    He's stupid in your eyes. So he doesn't have the knowledge for you to be offended and outraged.

    It's why I'm not offended and outraged when you label me and others 'b****es who've never struggled'...

    Because you are stupid.

    imo if you decide to be noble, honorable, virtuous, be consistent especially if you are a public figure. turning it on or off, especially publicly as a public figure, is weak ass ****.

    also i'm not getting on lynch, i just called him stupid. i was getting on @fchowd0311 because he's an *******.

    How can he be consistent in a issue he has no experience with?

    Geniune question Ipaman.

    Do you think if you explained the autrocities Mexican law enforcement has committed, he would dismiss it?

    No you were definitely 'outraged' at Lynch before I stepped in. Do you want me to post a quote of yours?

    Now it seems like you are shifting your faux outrage from Lynch to me.

    i hope not but just proves my point that he's stupid. intentional or accidentally stupid is irrelevant to me. i guess you think if someone does something racist but they didn't know it was racist it's okay. you stupid too.

    He doesn't know anything about the man clearly but is fine judging him.

    My guess is if you present the facts to Lynch he'd empathize. Would he donate and volunteer? Maybe not, he's one man and can anyone blame him for being more worried about his community than kids in Mexico?

    I mean we are entirely assuming his opinion and stance on something with basically 0 information.

    You have to understand that to some people, entitled rich assholes being disrespectful in order to further false and cancerous narratives is their idea of a hero or role model. Sure it's sad that there are people like that out there, but there's just nothing you can do to help them.

    Definitely seems like a poster expressing outrage to me.

    Again, this is all based on your premise that Lynch was playing comparative politics rather than just standing for an anthem in a guest country.

    you don't see how idiotic it is to wear clothes and use electronics made by children while protesting human rights, discrimination, oppression, etc... c'mon you can't be that dense.

    Actually, it depends.

    Do they apologize for their previous behavior or no?

    I think many don't understand or willingly don't understand that these wealthy athletes are not speaking of autrocities committed at them personally but rather the discrimination they experienced in their communities before they were wealthy and feel as if them not speaking out is a betrayal of the community they were raised in.

    apparently. they are so helpless they mock posters and their families who have lost lives and suffered just like the folks they are defending. mental illness.
